The old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Although Poor Dao knows this soul curse, there is no way to crack it, but I have a junior disciple with the same door, called Ziyang Zhenren, he has studied ancient books, or has a way to crack it, Poor Dao went to Middle-earth this time, just to find my fellow disciple, if the son wants to lift the soul curse, you might as well go with me."

Liu Zhi was puzzled in his heart, Ziyang Zhenren? Could it be Li Yuanba's fierce master? Said that Tang gave him a pair of drum urns and golden hammers weighing 800 catties, that Ziyang real person?

This old Taoist priest claimed to be the senior brother of Ziyang Zhenren, and he must have been very extraordinary, Liu Zhi repeatedly asked him for his name, but he smiled and did not say anything in detail.

Liu Zhi knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask anymore.

The big ship sailed on the sea for more than ten days, and the southeast wind at sea was more rapid at this time, so the ship was sailing and blowing, and the speed was much faster than usual, but even so, for Liu Zhi, who returned to ancient times from modern times, the speed of this small boat was still very slow, and he estimated that the speed of this ship was only no more than ten kilometers per hour, otherwise they would not have used up so much time on the road.

The boat landed at the boundary of Shandong and then rushed to Shanxi.

At this time, Yang Xuangan rebelled in Hongnong County, the war in Shandong and other places was repeated, Wagang and many rebel armies have risen up to occupy the mountain as the king, at this time Wang Bo united Sun Xuanya, Shi Qinjiao, Hao Xiaode rebels more than 100,000 people to attack Zhangqiu, Jijun general Zhang Xutuozhen with soldiers and horses to intercept, but most of the soldiers and horses in the whole Shandong have been brought to Jizhou by Emperor Yang of Sui Li Guang, to participate in the military operation to conquer Goryeo, Shandong defense is empty, although Zhang Xutuo has 30,000 soldiers, but the rebels and rebels are obviously outnumberedIn March of this year, Guo Fang in Beihai pre-gathered 30,000 people, called himself Lu Gong, captured Beihai County, led his troops to rebel, and united Qin Junhong and other rebels to prepare to besiege Licheng, and earlier in Shi, Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe and others led 20,000 rebels had just attacked Licheng, although Zhang Xutuo was defeated, but the official army was exhausted, and it was too late to deal with it.

After leaving Shandong and entering the Hedong territory, the situation here was not much better, and the momentum of rebellion in various places was even worse.

What Liu Zhi saw and heard along the way, it was almost the same as when he entered the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even more miserable than the scene he saw at that time, although the imperial court at that time was also full of holes, but the **** of the Yellow Turban Army had been extinguished, although the warlords everywhere did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, but after all, they still knew to cherish the people under their rule, so although the people at the bottom were miserable, they were far better than at this time at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"Is it really worth waging such a big war in order to fight a Guanlong clique and realize his own desire for conquest?"

Along the way, Liu Zhi was thinking about these questions, in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty began to conquer Goguryeo in 611, and for the first time actually concentrated an army of 1.13 million, and failed, not to mention the failure, and suffered heavy casualties, although Goguryeo has a certain strength, but it is far from the need to send more than 1 million troops to attack them, as long as 780,000 elite soldiers are dispatched, provide good logistics support, divide the troops into two routes, advance by land and water, Goguryeo will definitely not be able to hold, and later the Tang Dynasty will conquer Goguryeo again, There was no such big battle as Emperor Yang of Sui.

And Yangguang is a very strange person, his mind makes people can't figure it out at all, after he failed in the first expedition to Goguryeo, he came again the second year, and after the failure in the second year, he came again in the third year, and he also made a surrendered messenger, when the troops attacked the city until the Goguryeo people couldn't stand it, the Goguryeo people would pretend to surrender, and the Sui army had to stop the attack, and of course the Goguryeo people didn't really want to surrender, they just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and when they eased their breath, they immediately turned their faces and continued to resist, I don't know how many times the Sui army stopped fighting, and the army suffered heavy casualties, but it was stunned that it couldn't even beat a city.

Before his three conquests of Goguryeo, he had already built canals and huge granaries that could accommodate millions of stone of grain, such as Xingluochang, Huiluochang, Changpingchang, Liyangchang, and Guangtongcang.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the national power accumulated by the political level and the prosperity of the common people was quickly lost after he succeeded to the throne.

It looks like the Sui Dynasty has an enmity with him, the emperor, a peaceful and prosperous era, and he forcibly destroyed it, which is the same as the powerful Qin Dynasty in history, it is prosperous and declining, and it perishes very quickly, so that after his death, the historians of the Tang Dynasty gave him the title of 'Emperor Yang'.

The old Taoist priest took Liu Zhi to Tianlong Mountain outside Taiyuan City, where there is a Tianlong Temple, which was originally a Taoist temple with extremely strong incense, but now because of the relationship between ****, there are no pilgrims and believers along the way.

At this time, although Buddhism had been introduced to Middle-earth, there were too many followers, and traditional Taoism was still very prosperous.

The old Taoist priest took Liu Zhi to the gate of the Taoist temple, only to see that the gate of the Taoist temple was closed, and a small Taoist priest stood at the door, as if he had come to greet them.

"Uncle Wang, my master and his old man know that you are coming today, so he specially asked me to come to greet you, Master and his old man are injured and can't get off the ground, so he can't come to greet him in person, uncle, this son, please come with me!"

The old Taoist priest nodded, and followed the little Taoist priest to walk inside, Liu Zhi was a little surprised in his heart, this Ziyang real person is really good, he had already expected their arrival, could it be that he had fulfilled the predestination?

The little Taoist priest led the way, and Liu Zhi knew that this Taoist priest's surname was Wang, but since he was so powerful, his junior brother was afraid that he was also very capable, but he was still injured in this way, who would be the person who made the shot?

The two came to the hall, and after a while, a little Taoist priest helped another old Taoist priest to walk out slowly.

This old Taoist priest has a white beard and a fluttering long robe, and he looks quite a master, but his face is yellow and he coughs incessantly, obviously with a very serious injury on his body.

"Senior brother, who brought you to this?"

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and put the pulse on his junior brother's hand for a while, and noticed that his injury was very serious, and his internal organs were squeezed out of shape by a force, if it weren't for his martial arts, coupled with the conditioning of medicine, I am afraid that he would have died at the hands of thieves, thinking of this, the old Taoist priest became more and more angry, there are not many people in the world who have the ability to hurt his junior brother, who wants to be so ruthless to her.

It's just that Ziyang Zhenren's answer surprised him: "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm fine, the person who injured me is my apprentice, he went crazy while practicing, so he accidentally injured me." ”

The old Taoist priest was still indignant and asked, "Who is your apprentice's surname, and where is he now?" ”

Ziyang Zhenren sighed and said, "He is the second son of Tang Guogong, named Li Yuanba!" ”
